Thanks, Lars, though curious, give me 1.5 days until I'm back at work. [No, I don't feel like updating my machine at home for the time being. It has the similar introduction of /root, though working properly in nv78:
bash-3.2$ pwd /export/home/udippel bash-3.2$ whoami udippel bash-3.2$ cd bash-3.2$ cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0::/root:/usr/bin/bash daemon:x:1:1::/: bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin: sys:x:3:3::/: adm:x:4:4:Admin:/var/adm: lp:x:71:8:Line Printer Admin:/usr/spool/lp: uucp:x:5:5:uucp Admin:/usr/lib/uucp: nuucp:x:9:9:uucp Admin:/var/spool/uucppublic:/usr/lib/uucp/uucico dladm:x:15:3:Datalink Admin:/: smmsp:x:25:25:SendMail Message Submission Program:/: listen:x:37:4:Network Admin:/usr/net/nls: gdm:x:50:50:GDM Reserved UID:/: webservd:x:80:80:WebServer Reserved UID:/: postgres:x:90:90:PostgreSQL Reserved UID:/:/usr/bin/pfksh nobody:x:60001:60001:NFS Anonymous Access User:/: noaccess:x:60002:60002:No Access User:/: nobody4:x:65534:65534:SunOS 4.x NFS Anonymous Access User:/:] Uwe [I'll also not mention the SPACE in your line bin:x:2:2::/us r/bin:. Thanks for your help and your thorough look at the details, though. I'd surely have rectified the problem had it been in my passwd, the user had been added with useradd, and the line with my account looked flawlessly, but behaved badly.] This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
